“Last Dec 19, Ferdz Valencia was supposed to undergo another surgical operation but the hospital had to cancel due to unsettled medical bills. He suffered a stroke last Dec 9.

The Ferdzraiser is now underway, and it is important to donate now now so he can get the surgery as soon as possible.

In the meantime, his family are appealing to friends and colleagues for cash donations for the surgery to push through, and also to help his family deal with the growing hospital and medical expenses. As of date, his hospital bill has already reached almost 500,000 Philippine Pesos (or $10,000). Please deposit your donations to his wife’s account here:
